Yes. We have departures from Omiš every day. The minimum group is 2 people, so on rare occasions early in the season we may have to cancel if no one else has booked.

Tell our guides about any medical condition before the tour. You can speak to them privately. If you need medication during the tour, such as an asthma inhaler, give it to the guides. They keep it in a waterproof bag and have it ready whenever you need it.

We provide a 5 mm full-body wetsuit, helmet, life vest and a harness with wetsuit protection. Please bring your own sports shoes or hiking trainers, not beach shoes. If you don’t have suitable shoes, you can rent a pair from us, but we have a limited number.

A towel, swimsuit, dry clothes to change into after the tour, and sports shoes. Beach shoes and flip-flops are not suitable.

Your belongings stay locked in our minibus during the tour and are waiting for you at the end.

No. We suggest a good breakfast before the tour and a snack for afterwards.

If you booked through our website or another booking platform, bring your voucher and give it to the guides at the start of the tour. If you are paying in cash, you pay the guides after the tour. Please bring the exact amount, as there is no ATM in the village.

We run tours as normal in light rain. In heavy rain or thunderstorms we cancel the tour for safety reasons, and you get a full refund.

The water level can rise when there are works on the dam upriver. We are usually notified a few days in advance. If this happens, we may cancel the tour, and you get a full refund.

Canyoning is an adventure activity in a river canyon, so some risk is always present. We run every tour to the highest safety standards to keep that risk as low as possible. The most important thing you can do is listen to your guides and follow their instructions.
